NOURISH: Women Over 30

I recorded this episode with one of my favorite humans, Kindra from @creating.kindra!

Kindra is a former client who participated in my 8-week Food Freedom Mentorship, followed by my yearlong group coaching mastermind. I wanted to bring her on the podcast to share her experience with depression, binge eating, therapy, and everything in between, to help you understand that you are not alone in your struggles.

Here's a snippet of what we cover in today's episode:

— Trusting your KNOWING (and how Kindra knew I was pregnant on our retreat haha)

— Why it’s important to surround yourself with women who uplift and empower you vs. gossip and judge you

— How understanding decision fatigue has helped her eating habits 

— Learning how to trust yourself in small ways so you can learn to trust yourself in the BIG THINGS

— Kindra's history with depression (not wanting to get out of bed or go to work, and how that led to binge eating) and her rock bottom moment 

— Different types of trauma and why  trauma-comparing can be harmful 

— How binge eating impacted Kindra's relationships 

— How to support friends or family who you suspect are struggling 

— Kindra's experience working with a therapist 

— Cultivating self awareness, asking yourself questions

— And we end with a piece of advice that she would give EVERYONE listening  to become more patient and loving with yourself

Do you feel like you’re in a rut? Like you’ve been trying to do something that’s worked for you in the past, but it’s not working for you anymore? This podcast talks about how to confidently pivot and change directions when what you’ve been doing hasn’t been working. And, why it's SO important to have regular check ins to get to know yourself on a deeper level.

In this episode, we chat candidly about:

• when I started to feel like my business wasn’t in alignment anymore
• the questions I ask myself to figure out my next right steps
• an EPIC quote that one of my clients shared with me that encapsulates this whole podcast into one philosophical golden nugget of wisdom 
• why I don’t believe in “finding yourself” (and what I believe instead)
• why scheduling time for self check-ins is critical to your success 
• YOU are your own best guide; not a teacher, book, podcast, or any other resource outside of yourself
• you might KNOW something, but are you EMBODYING it? 

Action item of the week: make a date with yourself! schedule in 30 min-1 hour for a self check in this week. 

Quote of the week: “Your body is so worthy of love and acceptance in all seasons and for all reasons”

For YEARS, I was obsessed with food. How much to eat, when to eat, planning and prepping my meals, counting down the minutes until I could eat again, looking up restaurant nutrition facts hours or days before a date so I could “be prepared”, glued to an app on my phone all day adding and subtracting and trying to fit my macros into one big magical puzzle piece.

IT. WAS. EXHAUSTING. 🥵

I spent so much time and mental energy on FOOD, that I didn’t have time or energy to do the things I really loved... the things that REALLY filled me up that weren’t food at all.

Once I started to develop a healthier relationship to food, SO MANY DOORS TO HAPPINESS opened up for me:

• I could do workouts that I loved and genuinely enjoyed, not just the ones that “burned the most calories”
• I could go out to eat with my friends any night of the week (without having to analyze the menu beforehand) because I learned how to eat in a way that made me feel good, even if I chose to indulge.
• I learned how to practice mindfulness around how much to eat, so that I COULD eat donuts, pizza and whatever I wanted without feeling guilty about it.
• And so much more

When you stop focusing all of your energy on food, your world opens up to SO much time and energy for things that will fill you up in ways food never will — better relationships with others and yourself, a better social life, less stress, more confidence in your body, the list goes on.

If you’re stuck obsessing with food right now, I feel you. I’ve been there. And there IS a better way. It takes patience and trust to unfu*k yourself from all the diets and unhealthy habits, but there IS freedom on the other side.

And truly, finding freedom from food obsession has been the catalyst for all the most magical things in my life: my relationships, the confidence to run my own business, and so much more.

This is my real, raw and unfiltered experience of what it's been like running my own business as an entrepreneur, while simultaneously staying home with my 13-month-old. 
We chat all about:

• What I believe it takes to make my business run successfully 
• The fears I had about my business as I transitioned into becoming a mom
• What the past 13 months have been like authoring and publishing a book, coaching clients, and running a podcast -- all while staying at home as a full-time mom
• Managing expectations about what you can get done
• Prioritizing the MOST important things when you have a limited amount of time to work
• Systems I'm creating to help my business run smoothly 
• AND MORE!

I'm sure things will change (as they always do) when he gets a bit older and he goes to school. But this has been MY *PERSONAL* experience running my business as an entrepreneur and mama in the first 13 months of my son's life!

You vow to never diet again. You decide you want to develop a healthier relationship with food and your body. So this means you're going to eat healthy, perfectly balanced meals all the time, right?

WRONG! You are a human being, and the process of learning to eat in the way that best supports your body is a HUGE learning curve.

At some point, you're going to eat more than what makes you feel comfortable, and that's totally normal and OK.

Here's what to do (and what not to do!) when you do "fall off track" with your goals, or find yourself out of alignment with what you want the most.

We chat all about self-sabotage: what it is, why we do it, and my 3-step process to help you stop the self sabotage cycle for good.

• Why it's important to bring 100% to everything you do
• Is "following your passion" something you should pursue? + Brinn's tips to finding what lights you up + how to break into your chosen industry
• Brinn's personal experience with OCD and how it used to define her relationships + how she shifted and redefined the control OCD had on her thoughts and life
• Cultivating consciousness in your work and relationships
• Her tips for someone struggling with food and body confidence issues
